Something Not In The Will

[realmike15]

well, he only has to abide by the laws of God. Those remaining here must abide by the laws of the state. It has nothing to do with trusting his children to do anything. It is simply a matter of what the law allows.

It was stated earlier, that if all the sisters agreed that I should be given the car... there would be no issue. So it obviously does have something to do with trusting his children would do that...

Anyway I don't really see the point in continuing this. I'm not arguing about whether I can seek legal action, you guys know the law better than I do. What I am saying is his wishes were for me to have the car, which is backed up not only by his girlfriend but also my mother and my youngest aunt. These were the people that spent every day with him at the hospital and were there at his bedside when he died. His wishes were for me to have the car, despite what the will says. You cannot dispute that, those were his wishes. Period, end of story.

realmike15,

You are completely incorrect in your evaluation of this issue. There is a reason why this needs to be in writing, signed and witnessed. It is to keep people in your situation from manipulating the "final wishes" which are the will. The only person who seems "greedy" in this situation is you. You are trying to place the blame onto those who are just doing their duty and following the law. The pressure you are trying to exert is not acceptable. You seem to want aunt to circumvent the law. If you should be mad at anyone it would be "grandfather" for not changing his will. For grandfather to make his desire for you to have the car the day before he went in for brain surgery is a little suspect. Especially since he changed the will just weeks before going into the "first surgery" and didn't include you in that change.

Forget this and just let everyone legally follow the directions of the will without you causing a family problem.

Because she's reluctant to honor what he had told us verbally, for reasons she hasn't even completely explained.

She has certain LEGAL OBLIGATIONS. She HAS explained that...

I love how you assume you know what my motives are. Let's go over some facts here, since you accused me of being greedy. This is my mother, his girlfriend, and my youngest aunt pursuing this issue not just me. I actually, have said very little about the whole ordeal and have mostly just been kept in the loop via my mom and his girlfriend. I came here seeking legal advice, that was it. I could care less what you think my motives are or if you believe he did indeed say he wanted me to have the car. This is something that has been confirmed by 3 different family members.

But yea Sherlock, you figured it out. Me, my Mom, my Aunt, and my Grandfather's Ex-Girlfriend are all in on it. Thank god you figured it out... or I would have gotten away with it. That's why I came to a legal advice forum, to waste my time lying to you all, because god knows if you had sided with me... that would hold up so well in court.

As was said not 5 minutes ago... if all the sisters agreed to honor his verbal wish of giving me the car. There would be no legal backlash for doing so.

Great - then they can all hand over their share of the cash...problem solved!

Or, you could simply offer to BUY the car from the estate for the actual value. Then, when the funds from the estate are distributed, the sisters can GIVE you their share...

Now that I'm thinking of it...does the estate have enough money to cover all debts in the first place?

They don't

 

[realmike15]

I'm honestly shocked at the attitude of people here.

I came here seeking legal advice.

Instead I got:

- People questioning my motives
- People questioning whether my grandfather actually said he wanted me to have the car
- People questioning that someone could want something done, but forget to add it to their will

What possible benefit would I gain by lying to you people. None of this would hold up in court. What does matter is that my Mother, Aunt, and his Girlfriend all say that was his wish. Regardless of whether that does or doesn't hold up in court... those were his wishes.

Can you REALLY be this dense? The LAW is very specific. If you want validation of your hurt feelings, go somewhere else. This site is about the LAW!

Wow Zigner, you have a severe lack of reading comprehension. Did you pass the second grade? Every response you have made does nothing to tackle the issue, and instead just skips right to quoting one small portion of my post while ignoring the parts that negate everything you're saying. You debate things that were covered 3 posts earlier. Try actually reading a thread before you start responding next time.

Validation of my hurt feelings? That's such a stupid conclusion to come to after reading my post... no normal person would get that out of reading my post except an idiot like yourself. Do me a favor and crawl back into your miserable hole that you came out of.

You are a classic troll. You must really need to prove something. Most of the other responses here were at least insightful or helpful. Yours are just mindless dribble.

Realmike15,

You are wrong. If these people want to give you the car at a later date, then go for it. You came here for legal advice. You can't seem to accept legal advice. Legally, you have no position to "get the car" just because grandfather had a temporary wish for you to have the car.

Quoted from my own post:

If you read my post, you'd see I'm very aware of the fact that I have no legal recourse. At no point during this entire thread did I argue with anyone about that. The only thing I argued was what my grandfathers actual wishes were. Whether they are in the will or not. Which I would know better than anyone here, and which no one here has any grounds to argue with me.

My posts have been dead-nuts accurate, legally. You are looking for cheerleaders, not advice.

You are WRONG, legally speaking. This is a LEGAL ADVICE SITE. You got your legally accurate answers. Don't let the door hit you in the behind on the way out!

Yea? Why exactly would I want cheerleaders? Would that help me in court genius?

You can't possible be that dumb... or can you?
